Colin Kaepernick

Colin Rand Kaepernick (kap-ƏR-nik; born November 3, 1987) is a former American football quarterback who played for the San Francisco 49ers from 2011-2016. Kaepernick played college football for the University of Nevada in Reno, where he was named the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) Offensive Player of the Year twice and became the only player in NCAA Division I FBS history to amass 10,000 passing yards and 4,000 rushing yards in a career.

With Washington now needing a backup quarterback and considering the likes of EJ Manuel, T.J. Yates, and Mark Sanchez, some are wondering why Colin Kaepernick has been overlooked, again. Mike Jones of USA Today reported via tweet on Sunday evening that “people familiar w Kap aren’t even so sure he WANTS to play anymore.” For [more]

The Washington Redskins will be without quarterback Alex Smith for the foreseeable future after Smith's gruesome leg injury in Sunday's game against the Houston Texans -- but don't expect Colin Kaepernick to come running through the tunnel to replace him. Washington, which leads the NFC East with a 6-4 record, will have a few options to turn to in trying to replace Smith, who had accumulated 2,180 passing yards and 10 touchdowns for the Redskins this year, but the pool of replacements seems to be a band of ABK -- Anybody But Kaepernick. Former San Francisco 49ers star Colin Kaepernick, who hasn't played a down of football since 2016, continues to go unemployed in free agency -- though he's reeled

Robert Kraft was one of the few NFL owners to receive good press in Devin Gordon's recent New York Times profile of NFL Players Association president Eric Winston, earning praise from the former offensive lineman for his financial investment in his team and players. That tone was echoed by Gordon, who described him as “being among the league's most progressive owners” and noted his active role in criminal justice reform, while also pointing out that Kraft's long-term approach to the success of the game is starkly juxtaposed with the average player's financial needs in the short-term. However while Kraft may fall in line with his fellow owners when it comes to prioritizing the viability of the

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Mental errors. Breakdowns. Mistakes. Screw-ups. Whatever you call them, the Arizona Cardinals made plenty of them Sunday in a 23-21 loss to the Oakland Raiders. The Cardinals led 21-20 with five minutes to play before a series of missed opportunities and mistakes burned them, allowing Oakland to rally for a last-second field goal and the win that even the teams' records at 2-8. Here are five looming miscues, four of which came in the final minutes, that bit Arizona at State Farm Stadium: Rosen throws an early pick Context: For the second play from scrimmage in the game, the Cardinals had the ball on their own 34-yard line on 2nd-and-1 holding a 21-20 lead.

The Warriors did not hear a fiery speech. They did not hear a sob story, either. When Warriors coach Steve Kerr addressed the team about Draymond Green's recent spat with Kevin Durant, Kerr offered an honest, pragmatic and optimistic message. “'One incident in November can't taint the next six months and what we're trying to accomplish,'” Warriors guard Stephen Curry recalled Kerr saying. “He spoke about that clearly.” The Warriors (12-5) took Monday off, punctuating a week in which Kerr handled something more serious than a winless three-game trip, overlapping injuries and fluid rotations. Then, the Warriors conveyed optimism they can heal their tired and injured bodies. They also expressed

Ravens first-round pick Lamar Jackson made his first NFL start at quarterback on Sunday and posted 117 rushing yards on the way to a much-needed 24-21 win over the Bengals. That made him the first quarterback to run for at least 100 yards in a game since Colin Kaepernick in 2016 and it’s also a [more]

Richard Sherman played arguably his best game with the 49ers on Monday night against the Giants. The 30-year-old's progress through the 2018 season has been a nice bright spot in an otherwise shaky 49ers defense. Sherman may not be playing like the All-Pro he once was, but he still has plenty left to contribute on a young 49ers defense. Sherman on Monday night allowed two catches on four targets. They were the 10th and 11th receptions he's allowed this season, and it was the fourth consecutive game in which he's allowed multiple catches. He gave up just one reception through his first four games. Opposing quarterbacks have completed 11-of-24 throws in Sherman's direction for 153 yards and no
